Get to know J'den Cox: The breakout U.S. wrestler headed to Olympics
May 28, 2016

 

NEW YORK — At quick glance, wrestler J'den Cox winning a medal at the 2016 Olympics seems out of the question. The 21-year-old is a relative newcomer to Olympic-style wrestling, and he isn't ranked among the world's elite wrestlers in the 86-kg (189 pounds) weight class. But given how the University of Missouri junior rose to the occasion throughout the Olympic qualifying process, ruling Cox out of the medal consideration may not be the wisest move.
